Wexford Public Participation Network (PPN)

is a network of not-for-profit volunteer-led groups spread across County Wexford.

About Us

The main purpose of the PPN is to empower and assist groups to participate in local decision making.

History

A Public Participation Network (PPN) is a structure that brings together Community and Voluntary, Environmental and Social Inclusion groups in each local authority area.

Structure

Wexford PPN is established based on a Flat Structure. This means that no single individual, group, or sector controls Wexford PPN.

Governance

It is imperative that strong and clear governance procedures are in place that respect the flat structure and provide the environment.

Join the PPN

  • Be active with a postal address in County
    Wexford

MEET THE TEAM

Those who help make it happen

The Secretariat:

The membership of the Secretariat is designed to be as broad as possible, and reflective of the diversity of the membership. It must include at least one representative from each of the five Municipal Districts, and equal numbers (but at least two people) from each of the three electoral colleges (Environmental, Social Inclusion, Community and Voluntary).

The Staff:

Employed by Wexford County Council, the roles of the PPN Coordinator and Development Officer are to support the Secretariat and the Plenary, and to carry out duties and tasks on behalf of the PPN following the PPN Workplan.

The Representatives:

PPN Representatives perform an important function on behalf of PPNs. They are elected by Member Groups in their College / area to get involved in, and contribute to, Local Authority Boards or Committees on behalf of the PPN. In doing this, they represent the PPN as a whole, their own Municipal District / area, their College and their group.
